The conformity framework has recently been proposed for the task of reliable classification. Given a classifier B, the framework allows to obtain p-values of the classifications assigned to individual instances.

We developed and validated short measures of peer pressure, peer conformity, and popularity in a sample (n= 148) of adolescent boys and g...
